Before buying a single panel, find out where the house leaks. A real audit with real instruments - not a walkthrough with a clipboard.
A written report ranked by payback: what to fix first, roughly what it costs, and what it saves each year. Often the top items are boring - attic air sealing, a band of missing insulation, a crushed duct - and they beat glamorous upgrades on pure return.
We fix what we find if you want us to, but the audit stands alone. Use it with any contractor - it's your roadmap either way.
Two to three hours on site, with the written report a few days later.
No - audits frequently postpone solar, because sealing and insulation shrink the system you'd need. Cheaper first, panels after.
Often, for both the audit and the fixes it recommends. We track current programs and include them in the report.
